WIWW :: Week 2https://pullittogethermama.wordpress.com/2011/05/11/wiww-week-2/

I got three days worth of pictures last week. Maybe one week you’ll see shots of me from all 7 days! And apparently I really like my new gold jewelry because I wore the exact same ensemble on two of those days. You’ll notice that some of the store names are highlighted in green. If you can currently buy the item in stores or online, I’ve added a link and that turns it green!

Contact me if you’re interested in getting any of the jewelry you see here for FREE or HALF-PRICE!

She and her family are spending TWO MONTHS in Italy and she packed light! And all the sudden I decided I want a small wardrobe, all the time.

These are my ideas for a basic (yet stylish) summer wardrobe:

Bottoms – Capris or Shorts {3)

Denim, Khaki & Other Basic Color like Grey, Brown, Black or Navy

Tops/Blouses {4}

Think ruffles, ruching, embroidery . . . anything that would look a bit more dressy than a tee.

A Color that Will Coordinate with Your Entire Wardrobe (Metallics/Nudes)

Accessories

{2} Scarves :: {3} Necklaces

{2} Bracelets :: {2} Earrings :: {1} Ring

What would you add or take away?

I swear I look good before I pull the camera out. And, I did get dressed and ready for the day on more than just 2 days last week . . . I only found the time for photographs twice. So, here we go.

Top: TJ Maxx ~ Cardigan: Target ~ Capris: Target (held up by a Belly Band – I’m 24 weeks pregnant) ~ Shoes: Gold Thong Sandals from Target but you can’t see them because they’re downstairs and I was upstairs.

https://pullittogethermama.wordpress.com/2011/04/22/time-to-be-a-lady/#respondFri, 22 Apr 2011 11:44:38 +0000http://pullittogethermama.wordpress.com/?p=4]]>Ran across a blog and store today, The Pleated Poppy, and fell in love with fashion all over again. (Specifically, this post.)

I sell a gorgeous line of high fashion jewelry, but it’s been several months since I’ve thought about fashion. The first trimester half of pregnancy will do that to you. I’ve been living in my pajamas, lucky if I get a shower by 8pm each day.

But that’s all changed in the last few days. I want to feel like a lady again. So I’ve been perusing the fashion blogs and browsing some of my favorite local discount stores (TJ Maxx and Marshalls).

Here are a few of the fashionable things I’ve run across in the last few days . . .

a vintage inspired boutique with a modern touch - most items are very reasonably priced

I'm particularly fond of this dress.

Love the various layers and textures in this outfit, especially the scarf (which she also sells on her site).

LOVE her hair. I need to try her method.

What I’ve learned in the last few days? You always looked pulled together if you have a good haircut, use layers and textures in outfits, wear accessories (like jewelry, scarves and belts), have a fantastic handbag by your side and a wear a pair of shoes that make it look like you care (yes, that means no running shoes).
